That is disputed; there are those who say that something cannot lose its
PD-ness by being transferred through a PD-unfriendly environment.

They are not; but there is a template that people can use on their Wiki
pages to give the name(s) they're mapping under. Was it "{{User}}"? Not
sure.
I think that before interpreting a Wiki PD dedication one would need to
take a close look (Wiki user pages can be modified by anybody). Maybe we
should, before we delete someone's data, do a quick check if we find him
on the Wiki and he has PD'ed his data, by way of a manual process.
